Synopsis
Land of wilderness where life depends on the raw law of nature, Alaska is rich with possibilities and second chances. Joe Gastineau, an ex-fisherman traumatized by an accident at sea years before, now lives on small jobs. Into his life comes singer Donna De Angelo, who barely gets by touring in bar shows and wedding receptions. She goes from one boyfriend to another, dragging along her unstable daughter, Noelle. An instant attraction arises between Joe and Donna. Gradually these damaged souls draw closer and find some of what they're looking for.
When Bobby, Joe's half-brother, asks him to come to a strange meeting at sea, Joe accepts after much hesitation. Donna and Noelle go with him. But Bobby hasn't told the whole story : two killers are after him...
